Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They been tryna get me in my ends
I ain't tryna let 'em
These **** probably found the hood
In a pile of sweaters
I just wanna see me and my friends
In the finest leathers
It's my finest hour, if you kill me
I'ma die a legend
[Verse 2]
Don't play yourself and I won't play you
We do the damn thing, fuck what they do
Sometimes, acting your age can really age you
So I'm young and reckless, they wanna break you
[Verse 3]
Down
But they'll never break me down
Rolling with celebrities, they celebrate me now
I just spoke to Pride
He said, you'll never make me proud
But I'm so grounded that it kinda elevates me now
Yeah
[Verse 4]
I'm the best rapper in the country, there's no one above me
Other than my fucking OG, that's Mr. Miyagi
I just wear my heart on my sleeve like it's Issey Miyake
Outdoing what they're doing tenfold, origami
[Verse 5]
They're turning lyricist into a dirty word
I'm just tryna make a million before my thirty-first
Avelino isn't limited, but the business is
Real **** shit, I ain't rich until my **** rich
Poorer, I just wanna buy the sun
For my unborn daughter
There's no moral of the story when you're the author
What's a tall order when you're already standing taller
When I was on the edge, you never had my corner
[Verse 6]
There's a weight on my shoulders, weight on my shoulders
One devil, one angel weigh on my shoulders
When it's winner stays on, the game can control us
With great power comes responsibility
I've noticed it's
Easy turning relevancy into currency
[Verse 7]
What's difficult is recognizing what's in front of me
Had to go blind when they didn't wanna see
Genuine is just an R&B singer now
They told me I'd amount to nothing
I just made a decent amount of money
Funny how things change
Started going in 'cause shit was driving me insane
[Verse 8]
That's why I ain't really been on dates till this day
They wanted mix up, I wanted a mixtape
I am still a stone's throw from where the bricks lay
And I've grown out of there but that's where the kids play
[Verse 9]
My mistakes are your lessons, lil' bro
You ain't come second for a second, lil' bro
I'm just tryna get that Uncle Phil kinda will, bro
But for now it's origami 'cause the paper still folds
Yeah
